Falkirk Castle

Falkirk Castle was a Scottish castle built in Stirling and Falkirk, Scotland. Originally a castle of the Kingdom of England, it was torn down in 1298 and replaced by a Scottish one.

History
The Kingdom of England built a castle at Falkirk prior to 1298, and it served as the center of a large base that continued to expand. It was the main English stronghold in Scotland during the early stages of the Anglo-Scots Wars, and in 1298 the Scottish army of William Wallace besieged the castle. After the Scots massed up an army and siege weapons, they stormed the English base and destroyed their castle, replacing it with a Scottish one.
